Don't you just love Craigslist Scammers

Here's today's response for my A7R2. Note the spelling errors. I guess spellcheck isn't available in 3rd world states and countries. I can't wait to receive the check. Oh, wait. I sent her a phony address and phone number. Oh well, on to the next scammer.

Tell her it just so happens to be your wedding anniversary too and you and your wife will also be in Hawaii. Ask her where she is staying at, so that you can stop by and do a in-person transaction. You'll bring the camera to Hawaii for her. She can go to the a bank for cash.

Never heard from her again. I think she figured out my "scam".
